When translating what we had termed a Residency Exchange into French, Martial Deflacieux – Director of Artistes en Residénce in Clermont-Ferrand, titled the project Residence Croisée.
This translation interested me as croisée translates as an intersection or cross, and not directly an exchange. An intersection between the organisations is perhaps a more appropriate description of the project; it is a point in which our often divergent practices meet briefly before separating again.
